Tip #1: No More End Of Day Big Meals
It's been a busy day at work, you were good this morning and went for a run, you deserve a big meal. Wrong! Instead of eating a big meal at the end of the day, eat small meals regularly.
Your body needs the energy it gets from food to get you going early in the day, not for sleeping at night. Plus if you eat a lot in the evening your body doesn't have time to burn off the fat. So eat the biggest meal first in the day and finish with the smallest.
Tip #2: Slow Down
If you chew your food properly and eat slowly you're much more likely to eat less. When you eat food fast you don't give your body time to recognize you are full so you end up consuming more calories than necessary. Eating slowly is also much better for your digestive system.
Tip #3: Prepare For Hunger Attacks
We are tempted with food that is easily accessible: the fast food shop on the corner, the cookies available at work, the leftovers left out on the side. When you are hungry these foods are much easier than preparing something healthier.
The trick is to plan in advance and take healthy snacks with you everywhere: always have them in your handbag or on your desk at work. Then you have a better option when hunger strikes. This makes deciding the right food choices much easier.
Tip #4: Don't Let Yourself Get Starving
If you're really thirsty then you are already dehydrated. It's the same principle with food. If you let yourself get starving it's too late. You will end up binge eating to calm the feeling.
Instead eat regular healthy snacks. Anticipate when you get really hungry and eat a snack before hand so when it comes to meal times you eat less.
Tip #5: Join A New Diet Program
2011 brings with it some great professional diet programs. With so much scientific research available, experts have been able to put together easy diets that, most importantly, work.
The great thing with these diets is that they do all the hard work for you and it has been proven if you join one you are much more likely to succeed in losing weight.
